Website Hosting, Payment Gateways & More

Some links to make your life easier!

This page will be updated with recommended products or services that I have personally used and would recommend. These include anywhere from online marketing to web payment (ecommerce systems) used in Australia.

Online Payment Processors / Gateways

I’ve tried a few different processors such as Eway and PayPal, and know people who use the popular Stripe gateway. I ended up settling with Pin Payments. They’re an Australian based company, support is great and their fees are close to half of other gateways, no monthly contracts or fees, just 1.7% + .30c per transaction. The only downside is when you first sign up, your money is held for 7 days before release to your bank account. This is to help cover them against fraudulent operators. However, after a short amount of time and a good history of payments you can contact them for a reduced hold period.

Auto-Responders

Automate your mailing list and follow ups with a qualit auto-responder. Auto-responders help to increase your sale, build customer relations and act as a great medium for keeping in contact with your customers.
